- Kiro 8y agoNot the same at all.
- pessimizer 8y agoNo, exactly the same. Somethingawful goons were a very large portion of the early population of 4chan.
- thomasz 8y agoI’ve seen very similar viral images on Starcraft forums in the late 90s.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoI mean, even ytmnd predates 4chan. Maybe things like that were tame in terms of content, but the memes were still there. Memes been around since the web busted out of cern. A person of a certain age might think 4chan is the beginning sure, but SA was basically where 4chan came from. At least how I remember. Again, less extreme maybe. Not that my memories of those days is that great, I guess.
